So that's five, that's the number of people I know personally who's appliances have crapped out within a month of having their old electrical meters replaced with smart meters, my refrigerator crapped out after three weeks. I watched a video produced by an electrical engineer explaining what an engineering masterpiece the old meters were and how the new meters are garbage in comparison beside the obvious RF concerns. So what did I Learn? I learned A: the old meters are made of Bakelite which is a high temp plastic, the new meters are not. B: the new meters arc between the contacts creating a huge fire hazard. C: the originals have spike protectors built in that the new ones do not. One thing I noticed from pictures of the Maui fire was that the smart meters were completely burned out of their electrical enclosures when no other heat related damage was present. I guess I am going to install a whole house surge arrester to help mitigate any potential further damage even though the shortcomings within the meter itself cannot be overcome. Our electric company gave us an opt out option, but that came with a new monthly $250 dollar meter reading fee, Oh joy. I'm really tired of the public being the lowest common denominator in every consideration. On the other hand they,re trying to kill us in every other conceivable way, so is it really surprising? Any other Fren's have this issue?
